Confidentiality during Microsoft’s support for Webinars, Townhalls under LEAP program
I’m reaching out to inquire about the confidentiality practices followed during Microsoft’s support for webinars, townhalls, and large-scale meetings under the Microsoft 365 Live Event Assistance Program (LEAP). As per the program details, Microsoft offers guidance and live assistance before and during events. In this context, I would like to confirm: What confidentiality and data protection measures are in place during this engagement? How is sensitive organizational content (such as internal discussions, executive communication, or client data shared during events) handled by Microsoft engineers or support staff? Are support personnel under NDAs or bound by Microsoft’s internal compliance framework when participating in rehearsal and live support sessions? We highly value privacy and information security and would appreciate written confirmation regarding the safeguards implemented during your assistance with such events. Looking forward to your response.
Audio quality when using Teams Townhall with rtmp-in.
Hi everyone I have broadcast a live music (orchestra) concert using Teams Townhall with rtmp-in (using Blackmagic Design web presenter). When I checked the archive recorded on Teams, I realized that the volume of the music is being ducked automatically. All my audio sources are mixed down with a professional digital mixer before streaming to Teams so basically they have a good balanced. I have another back-up recorded data and it does not have the same problem, so i think it is caused by the algorithm of Teams, and even if I am using an external encoder?? Is there a method to fix this problem? I have compared the data recorded by the external device and teams. The ducking is quite obvious. Lower: Recorded on Teams Townhall Thank you Cheers Carson
Unexpected SharePoint Access Alerts in Microsoft Defender after Teams Premium Webinar Publication
Dear experts, We recently published a video recording of a Teams Premium Webinar via the platform https://events.teams.microsoft.com. Shortly after publication, Microsoft Defender issued alerts indicating that there were access attempts to our SharePoint environment – apparently triggered by external participants or recipients of the webinar recording. The video was published exclusively via the event page mentioned above, and we did not knowingly use SharePoint or OneDrive as a source. Therefore, we kindly ask for your support in clarifying the following questions: Is there any background linkage between the Microsoft Events platform and SharePoint or OneDrive that could explain such access patterns? How is it possible that these SharePoint access alerts occurred, despite the video being embedded or streamed solely through the Events platform? Are there any known scenarios where the Events platform indirectly triggers access to SharePoint resources? Can you assist us in narrowing down the root cause of the Defender alert (e.g. by providing access to logs or relevant configuration insights)? We appreciate your support and look forward to your response. Kind regards, TatjanaAssistance on Microsoft Townhalls, Live events and Webinars

Town Hall forced producer view for Teams Room
Teams room accounts added as presenters to a Town Hall are joining the meeting in the co-organizer view, no matter what role was assigned. Prior to 03/10/25, Teams Room could join as presenter and had meeting view control. Some change seems to have taken place over the weekend, and now even room accounts scheduled as external presenters are joining in the co-organizer view. The in-meeting change view button is now blocked during a the Town Hall. Has anyone else seen this or know about the change?
Please introduce Recurring schedules for Webinar
Hi, We're moving towards using Teams more predominantly for virtual events and teaching. In some cases, it would be useful to use the registration features available in Webinar but have that govern a course which spans 10-12 weeks at a couple of hours per week. As registration has been removed as an option from Teams Meetings, can the ability to set recurring Webinars within Webinar Scheduling be introduced? Cheers RichTownhall recording for in-org-guests
I set up a Town Hall in Microsoft Teams and invited the members of a Microsoft 365 group. This group also includes guests who do not have a business, school, or university account. All participants can open and join the Town Hall via the link in the email invitation. Once I publish the recording after the Town Hall ends, all invitees receive another email informing them that the recording of the event is available. However, only people with a business, school, or university account can access the recording (VOD) via the link provided. If I alternatively provide a link for people with existing access through my OneDrive in the “Recordings” folder (shared with all members of the above Microsoft 365 group), access to the recording is possible. Is there a way to enable access to the VOD for people who do not have a business, school, or university account?Entra Groups and managing Access to Teams or Town Hall
Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to grant access to a Teams or Town Hall meeting using an Entra ID Group without inviting all the users in the Group? This way you could send the meeting link to users in the Group as needed. For large organizations with many external partners managed in Entra, this would be very beneficial. This can be done already with the meeting recordings in Stream via the Share button.Town Hall vs Live Events
Please bring back some of the beloved features of Live Events into Town Hall or just make these improvements: 1. Ability to end the live broadcast and debrief with presenters behind the scenes when the event has concluded 2. Ability to sort published questions in different ways (# of likes, first in vs last in) 3. Ability to reply to questions In Review / Dismissed so the audience doesn't have to see the conversation 4. Ability to clean up the Published questions once they've been asked/answered
